The D.A. TV show was a 30 minute crime drama series on NBC where the District Attorney's office would investigate a crime at the beginning of each episode and then prosecute the criminal in the courtroom.

The D.A. Cast:

Robert Conrad ............. Deputy D.A. Paul Ryan
Harry Morgan .............. H.M. "Staff" Stafford
Julie Cobb ................ Public Defender Katherine Benson
Ned Romero ................ D.A. Investigator Bob Ramirez

The D.A. Trivia:

The D.A. is often compared to "Law and Order". One big difference though is that Deputy D.A. Ryan would speak to the audience during the show (as a voiceover) to explain legal and courtroom terminology and procedures to the viewers!

The D.A. aired on Friday nights from 8:00 to 8:30 PM. One of the reasons it may not have lasted too long is that "The Brady Bunch" was on ABC at the same time!
